Can someone convince me this isn't NIH syndrome? Why would you use this instead of SeaweedFS, Ceph, or MinIO?

Software tech in China is a different landscape. It's really common to reinvent the wheel in China. Almost every big name (Bytedance, Meituan, etc) have their own of everything with both office political and in house need reasons.

The thing is those stuff are so prevalent those in house tech have reach the point they are competitive. This doubles for quant firm like DeepSeek.

A 10 year old girl died too. They took no precautions to limit damage bystanders even assuming every person with one was a BadGuy™ which makes it terrorism and reprehensible.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets to civilian area a day after Oct 7 attack with intent to kill civilians to this day.

But a collateral from targeted attack people lose their mind. Much moral. Very righteous.

Through all of this, no one has cogently explained why Altman leaving is such a big deal. Why would workers immediately quit their job when he has no other company, and does he even know who these workers are? Are these people that desperate to make a buck (or the prospect of big bucks)? It seems like half of the people working at the non-profit were not actually concerned about the mission but rather just waiting out their turn for big bucks and fame.

What does Altman bring to the table besides raising money from foreign governments and states, apparently? I just do not understand all of this. Like, how does him leaving and getting replaced by another CEO the next week really change anything at the ground level other than distractions from the mission being gone?

And the outpouring of support for someone who was clearly not operating how he marketed himself publicly is strange and disturbing indeed.

As much as @sama is not exactly "great" (World Coin is...ehem). The firing reeks political strife and anyone have enough days at any office knows what happens the next year at OpenAI will be anything but grandstanding for those "revolutionists" to stamp out any dissenting voice and fertile ground for the opportunists to use the chaos to make things worse. Most of the employee's prime objective will be navigating the political shitstorm than doing their job. The chance OpenAI stay as is before ChatGPT is little to none.

Better run for the lifeboat before the ship hits the iceberg.

Jitter is a little randomness in how long clients wait between retries. It ensures that you don't have a "thundering herd" all retrying at the same time. Imagine if your API used exponential backoff of [1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, ...] and a large group of requests gets a retryable error at t=0. They will all retry at exactly t=1, t=2, etc. If the group is large enough that repeated surge of requests can knock you offline.

There's nasty form of this where the site is offline for a bit and then all the clients rush their requests in when it comes back online. The client requests are all coordinated on the site recovery time and end up overloading the site with their coordinated retries.

While there's "full ownership" meme but at least they make things clear:

* How many are going to be fired.

* When will employee know they are fired.

* Severance package.

No amount of thought and prayer are going to help, straight to the point.
